Some of San Francisco's best bartenders joined us for a special lunch with Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Jeff Arnett on April 10. After a gourmet meal and a whiskey tasting, we surprised the attendees with an impromptu cocktail competition. Mixologists worked in teams of four to create a drink using the unique flavor of Gentleman Jack, the world's only twice-charcoal-mellowed whiskey. Ultimately, the Safe Kicker, concocted by Jen Ackrill of Rye, Darren Crawford of Bourbon & Branch, Enrique Sanchez of Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen and Brian MacGregor of Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen, came out on top. Fix the winning recipe and you'll see why it was the judges' favorite.

And if you're heading out, make sure to order one of the tasty Gentleman Jack cocktails at the fine Bay Area watering holes below. Cheers!
